Happy Monday All!
Hope you had a wonderful weekend ... a bit windy here but nice just the same!
Today I thought I'd play along in the fun color challenge over on the Color Hues Challenge Blog ✓ where the theme is Yellow & Black. This fun challenge ends on June 29th so plenty of time to still play along!
Of course my first thought with this color combo was BEES and I just happened to have a fun paper pad by Echo Park Paper Co. called BEE HAPPY that worked perfectly. Here's what I created . . .
Though a bit difficult to see, I've done a spin on the DOUBLE VISION technique for the background. The papers in this 6x6 pad are double sided so instead of keeping it all one pattern I flipped every other 1/2" strip popped them up.
The sentiment is also from this paper pad ... I simply matted it with black cardstock to make it stand out a bit more. That cute little extra bee is from a stamp and die set by Hero Arts (sadly no longer available). I popped him up with a dimensional square also.
A few more fun challenges:
Allsorts Challenge #852 where the theme is Bees, Blooms and/or Birds (ends 7/3)
Cupcake Inspiration #638 - Anything Goes w/cupcake inspiration (ends 7/10)
I have an afternoon dentist appointment so I'd better quite playing around
and get things cleaned up in here!
As always ... thanks for stopping by!
Wishing you a FABULOUS week ahead!
That's the cutest paper and I love the flip and pop up idea! Making a note... The plump bumblebee is the perfect finish. There's just something so cheerful about a bumblebee!

Love the papers you used for this double vision look on your card. Isn't it wonderful when you have one paper pad with all the matching papers? I love these pads and have more than my fair share! Beautifully done, my friend.

ReplyDeleteI can't help but bee happy when I look at this card, Darlene! Wonderful papers and bees. We aren't seeing bees on our flowers this summer. It's very worrisome so it makes me happy to see them here. Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Color Hues, my friend!
